We invite our readers to interact here on the pets section any chance we get, and one thing is evident: People are passionate about their companion animals, no matter what breed they are. And as we see, they like to show off their cute pet photos!

It's always fun to see what our readers' lives are like with their own pets and other animals, and there are always interesting stories to tell.

This week, you'll see animals doing what they are good at: Being themselves.

It's all in good fun!

Our next Pet Photo Friday will be featured on Friday, June 26.

You can participate, and it's easy — simply email a photo of your pet to ppsa2mi@gmail.com any time for our monthly Pet Photo Friday feature.

Be sure to include the name of the animal(s), as well as their age and city or township of residence in your email. Photos should be 1,200 pixels wide and in .jpg format.
